TR Engineering Ltd recommend the use of a buffer tank. Buffer tanks (direct
cylinders) can achieve the optimum running of the system in terms of efficiency and
running costs.
Once the plumbing has been completed the system should be fully flushed to clear any
debris which may have become lodged in the pipe work. The system must then be filled
and the pump can be run continuously for a few hours to completely de-aerate the
system. Only when the system has been fully vented can the boiler be commissioned.
